About Ivory Fantasy
Ivory Fantasy combines brightness with movement. The material shows a warm beige to ivory ground tone, over which brown, grey and darker mineral sweeps run that make the stone considerably livelier than an evenly grained standard granite. That is precisely why Ivory Fantasy is well suited to projects that are meant to look friendly and warm without moving into the calm homogeneity of Bianco Sardo or Padang TG34. In kitchens, stairwells, floors and wall claddings this produces a surface with natural dynamism and at the same time usable suitability for everyday life.
Ivory Fantasy comes from India. In the market the material is usually carried as a granite, even though individual descriptions mention gneiss-like structures. What is decisive for planning is its customary commercial role as a pale, resilient Indian hard stone. Compared with Juparana granites, Ivory Fantasy is usually somewhat softer in its flow pattern; compared with purely beige-yellow limestones it is considerably more robust and less sensitive. For kitchen worktops in particular that is a relevant difference.
The documented values show a decent dimension stone for everyday use: the bulk density is 2,583–2,600 kg/m³, the flexural strength 14.0–16.6 MPa and the water absorption 0.48–0.56 %. Ivory Fantasy is therefore not extremely dense, but it is readily usable for a decorative pale hard stone. On heavily loaded horizontal surfaces a clean sealer makes sense. What is decisive here is the combination of a warm look, a usable technical basis and good usability in interior as well as external projects.
The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down this page. At ROSSITTIS, Ivory Fantasy is available as a raw slab, in tiles, as a stair tread and riser, window sill, skirting, wall cladding and as a kitchen worktop. As an alternative to Crema Marfil it is more robust; as an alternative to strongly animated Juparana materials it is often more harmonious and lighter.
The honest assessment: Ivory Fantasy is not a neutral architectural grey stone and not a strictly homogeneous kitchen stone either. Its strength lies in its soft movement and warm character. Anyone who wants exactly this liveliness gets a versatile pale hard stone. Anyone looking for maximum calm or maximum technical density will more likely find it in other granites.

Technical data
Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Ivory Fantasy is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Poliert
Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung im Hartgesteinsegment — eine spiegelglatte, hochglänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und maximaler Tiefenwirkung der Mineralstruktur. Als säurebeständiges Silikatgestein ist polierter Granit pflegeleicht und für Küchenarbeitsplatten, Wandverkleidungen und repräsentative Sichtflächen erste Wahl.
Satiniert
Die satinierte Oberfläche entsteht durch Bürsten, das weichere Minerale gezielt entfernt und der Fläche eine leichte Tiefe gibt. Mattes Erscheinungsbild mit subtiler Lichtreflexion und haptisch warmer Wirkung. Pflegeleicht, kratzunempfindlich und alltagstauglich — beliebte Alternative zur Politur in modernen Küchen und Wohnräumen.
Care & fabrication
After installation, Ivory Fantasy should be sealed, particularly where the stone is used as a kitchen worktop or on pale floor areas. With water absorption of 0.48–0.56 %, a good sealer makes sense in order to make everyday cleaning and care easier.
For cleaning and care, use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and a soft cloth or microfibre cloth. On warm beige surfaces, grease and water residues should not be left standing unnecessarily long.
Avoid aggressive deep cleaners and abrasive pads. Coffee, oil, wine or coloured kitchen liquids should be removed promptly so that no visual residues lighten or darken the surface.
Outdoors, regular cleaning, good drainage and the right finish matter. The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down this page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ivory Fantasy suitable for a kitchen?
Yes. With a bulk density of 2,583–2,600 kg/m³, a flexural strength of 14.0–16.6 MPa and water absorption of 0.48–0.56 %, Ivory Fantasy is a readily usable pale hard stone for kitchen worktops – ideally with a clean sealer.
Which finishes are available for Ivory Fantasy?
The finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Where does Ivory Fantasy come from?
Ivory Fantasy comes from India. In the trade the stone is carried as a pale Indian granite, or rather a hard stone.
How do I clean Ivory Fantasy correctly?
For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and a soft cloth are enough. On lighter warm beige surfaces in particular, grease and dye residues should not be left to act for long.
Is Ivory Fantasy frost-resistant?
Ivory Fantasy can also be used outdoors if the build-up and the finish are right. For stairs and terraces a matt, textured finish is usually the better choice than a polish.
Ivory Fantasy or Crema Marfil – which is better?
Crema Marfil looks more homogeneous and more classical, but as a limestone it is more acid-sensitive. Ivory Fantasy is more lively in its markings and more robust in everyday use. For kitchens, Ivory Fantasy is usually the more relaxed choice.
